Looking back and reminiscing about my childhood I can remember being told a lot of hurtful things. I was called names, and picked on a lot. The boys would always call me things like amazon or a lesbian.... even though I wasn't one.

Now that I'm an adult I find quite the opposite happening. I'm told I'm pretty. Many of my friends and colleagues tell me that they're jealous of me.

It seems that once you hit a certain age being tall goes from bad to good. It's really quite weird. I wish I understood it. But in all reality, I don't think years of scientific research could answer why this happens.
